Title: Transmitting three-dimensional (3D) video via conventional monoscopic (2D) channels as a multiplexed, interleaved data stream
Inventor: BORER TIMOTHY
IPC: H04N13/00
Filed: 2009-05-21
Abstract: A method of transmitting three dimensional (3D) video via a two dimensional (2D) monoscopic channel 47 comprises receiving two or more streams 42, 43 of video pictures, each representing a different view of a scene for assembly into a 3D picture at a receiver 48, and time multiplexing 46 the streams into a single interleaved stream for transmission. Thus, conventional, existing broadcast/transmission channels may be used for 3D image data. Streams may be left (L) and right (R) picture streams for stereoscopic video, e.g. multi-view 3D video. Rates may be downsampled (Figure 5) to be within conventional, current channel capabilities; downsampling phases may be offset for motion fluidity. The single stream may include ancillary information indicating interleaving phase. GOP compression, preferably from pictures in the same received streams, may be used, e.g. schemes as shown in Figures 8 and 9. The interleaved (L, R) stream may include interlaced fields in various left/right odd/even formats. Left and right picture sequences may be resampled to half height progressive sequences, then interleaved as full height interlaced frames. Streams can be upsampled. Synchronized shutter glasses or anaglyph methods may be used (Figures 6, 7).

Filed: 1947-04-15
Abstract: 651,329. Rotary-wing aircraft. SOC. INDUSTRIELLE GENERALE DE MECANIQUE APPLIQUEE S.I.G.M.A. April 15, 1947, No. 10014. Convention date, July 11, 1946. [A Specification was laid open to inspection under Sect. 91 of the Acts, Oct. 21, 1947.] [Class 4] In a rotary wing blade propelled by a tippropulsion nozzle, the propulsion gases pass through an inner conduit, the wall of which is substantially parallel to and spaced from the blade outer surface the space between the wall and the surface having an undulated partition with longitudinal ridges alternately along the wall and the surface to form a multiplicity of tubular ducts, air or other fluid at a temperature lower than that of the propulsion gases being preferably circulated through at least some of the tubular ducts and in particular those, a portion of the surface of which is constituted by the inner wall. The propulsion gases are supplied to a conduit 101 from a conduit m at the root of the blade and are expelled from a nozzle 111 at the blade tip. The space 103 between the conduit 101 and the surface 112 is provided with an undulated partition 104, the conduits 106 formed thereby being connected at the root end to a chamber 107 supplied with air under pressure from a pipe 108. The air is expelled at the tip into a chamber 110 from which it mixes with the propulsion gases in the nozzle 111. The conduits 105 formed by the partition 104 are each apertured at 112 on the blade surface and connected by a tube 113 with a chamber 114 which is supplied with air at a pressure either higher or lower than atmosphere in order to control the boundary layer on the outer surface of the blade. The chamber 114 may be dispensed with and suction conduits in the 105 obtained by connecting the outer end of each conduit with an annular chamber surrounding the nozzle 111. To facilitate manufacture the inner ridges of the partition 104 may be attached to a separate inner shell (Fig. 3, not shown), formed in various sections to permit spot-welding and within which is placed the conduit 101. The structure may be divided at the leading and trailing edges, in which case the fairing 102 is separately attached. The Specification states that some of the above features could be applied to fixed wings.

Title: Improvements in automatic electric control systems
IPC: G05B11/01
Filed: 1947-04-16
Abstract: 631,353. Automatic temperature control systems. SAUTER AKT.-GES. FABRIK ELEKTR. APPARATE, F. April 16, 1947, No. 10115. Convention date, Sept. 14, 1943. [Class 38 (iv)] [Also in Group XXXVI] A device for controlling a variable wherein a control member 25 is operated by a reversible motor 20 in a sense to correct a change in the variable to be controlled comprises a differential relay D, responsive through a measuring instrument M to changes in the variable for controlling the motor 20, and two temperaturevariable resistances 8, 11 (see Group XXXVI) in the exciting circuits of the relay D, one of which is heated upon switching the motor in one direction, and the other upon switching the motor in the reverse direction, so that the control member 25 is automatically brought to rest after a predetermined time of adjustment. As applied to temperature regulation, a thermostat M operates a variable resistance 15 connected in series across supply leads Ea, Eb, with a heating element H, and an exciting coil 6 of the relay D. The other exciting coil 7 of the relay D, which comprises a pivoted magnetic armature 2 supporting a contact 5, is connected in series across the supply with a heating element H2 and adjusting resistance 14. The two heating elements H1 and H2 are heated by resistances 9, 12 connected in parallel with the fields 21, 22 of the reversible motor 20, operating a regulating valve 25. If the temperature rises above a predetermined value the resistance 15 is increased and the current in the exciting winding 6 is reduced below that in the winding 7 causing the contact 5 to abut against a contact 3 thus completing the circuit to the motor 20 and causing it to operate in a sense to close the valve 25. At the same time the heating resistance 12 is put in circuit, increasing resistance 11, thereby lowering the current in the exciting coil 7 until balance is restored and contact 5 leaves contact 3. Similarly if the temperature falls contact 5 abuts against contact 4, causing the motor to open the valve 25 and putting the heating resistance 9 in circuit. If the temperature variations are such that a balance cannot be obtained by the variable resistances 8, 11, limit switches 23, 24 operate, disconnecting the motor, but leaving the heating resistances 9 or 12 in circuit. In a modification (Fig. 2, not shown), the heating resistances are connected in series with the motor fields, operation of the limit switches thus also disconnecting the heating resistances.
